Are you talking about the bit where he flipped a coin and it came up heads 10 times? If so, then he doesn't believe that it's a "kind of deep maths", because literally at the end of the episode he revealed that to get the 10 heads in a row, he recorded himself coin flipping for 10 hours until it came up.
I don't believe he's an idiot, I think he knows when he's spouting bullshit, and he does it to try and distract people from the real trick. If he revealed how he does all his tricks it just wouldn't be entertaining anymore.
Also, I don't believe for one second that all the people he hypnotizes are actors. He's done too many stunts and shows for that to be true without at least one of them selling their story to a national newspaper. Plus, I went to a live show of his once and one of my mom's friends went up on stage and got hypnotized, so I know there are legitimate non-actors used in at least some of his stunts.
Personally I wasn't talking about the people he hypnotises but some other bit players who were "supposed" to not be in on it.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
